History NightmareFuel / BlueGuardianMargaret

* [[spoiler:As shown in the bottom-right of the page image, not escaping the collapsing tower in time after beating the TrueFinalBoss causes Margaret to perish under the tower's rubble. If you look closely at the GameOver image for this, you can see that ''[[BuriedAlive she's still barely moving]], [[AndIMustScream and likely trapped where she is.]]'']]

* One of the GameOver [[HaveANiceDeath images]] has Margaret beaten to death (see top-left of the page image), with her lying on the ground with cuts, bruises, bloodstains, and even a black eye. It can be pretty unsettling to see for the first time since nothing like this happens during the gameplay, itself. It feels ''even worse'' if you or someone you know has been on the receiving end of a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown in RealLife.
* With the nature of this game making it a borderline HGame, there are quite a few other creepy deaths Margaret can suffer from. She can be ''[[{{Squick}} raped to death]]'' by creatures such as [[YouDirtyRat giant rats]], or [[JustEatHim eaten alive]] by bosses such as giant plant monsters and centipedes, leaving her to drown from her head being submerged in the monsters' internal fluids. Certain snakes can [[TakenForGranite turn her into stone]], leaving her with a [[AndIMustScream terrified expression]] from it (see top-right of the page image). She can also be forced to drown underwater by getting the air sucked out of her by a GorgeousGorgon, getting strangled by LizardMen, and held under by CombatTentacles. In short, [[EverythingIsTryingToKillYou everything she encounters wants to ruthlessly]] [[KillTheCutie kill her]].

* There's also an underwater version of the above NoHoldsBarredBeatdown death where Margaret's beaten corpse slowly drifts deeper in the water she was killed in.

* Although it's a part of Creator/FoxEye's SignatureStyle and AuthorAppeal to set its protagonists up for potential drownings, and in this specific case it can be entirely skipped by the player, [[spoiler:the HaveANiceDeath sequence of Margaret being drowned in a water torture tank near the end of the game is quite possibly [[UpToEleven the most brutal instance of a drowning in any Fox Eye game ever made]]. For the most part, drowning in a Fox Eye game is a common-but-avoidable danger, but if the player gets careless and lets Margaret get caught by the wizards in the underground laboratory, the water tank sequence is initiated where Margaret is stripped of all of her clothes and guns, bound upside-down by a rope, and then dumped into the tank. She's then forced to flail around and fight against drowning ''helplessly'' while the enemy, including the BigBad, gloat and watch her fruitless efforts up to her inevitable death. This can happen to her twice as she survives the first ordeal, but triggering this sequence a second time drowns and kills her for real, greeting the player with a detailed GameOver image of Margaret's suspended, now-lifeless body hanging in the water tank with cloaked figures looming on at her. The fact that this whole sequence plays out like a special cutscene to the "dark area" music gives it the feeling that it's meant to represent a BadEnding for the game where TheBadGuyWins in by [[HeroKiller drowning the heroine, herself]]. Not even Margaret's InTheNameOfTheMoon boast was enough to soften the blow of her fate.]] Once again, the player can skip this whole sequence by [[spoiler:never getting caught in the laboratory]], but still...

* There's yet ''another'' underwater-related death where Margaret [[spoiler:dies from the red GrimyWater. What makes this different from an ordinary drowning is that the red water hurts Margaret if it so much as touches her feet, and it's impossible for her to actually drown in it via an empty OxygenMeter before the red water drains all of her LifeMeter away, first. The implication is that the water is so disgustingly-polluted that it violently stings anyone that comes in contact with it. Dying from it has the following GameOver image show Margaret floating motionlessly in the red water with a horrified WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises look on her face.]]
